Destructive Fire at Hinton.

The towns of West Virginia seem to
be victims of the fire fiend 10 an unusual
extent this summer. Grafton and
Clarksburg have each had serious losses
in this way, and now Hinton is the
sufferer. Fire broke out in large
three-story frame building belonging to
DR.. S. p. Peck at midnight Sunday, de-
stroying it, together with his fine resi-
dence and the stores. owned by w. A.
Rife, occupied by Fred King q Co.,
jewellers; Chris Rau, barber; the post
office and j. S. Follensbee, druggist;
also, the three. story brick building
owned by Adams & McClung and &C.
cupied by Andrew Williams, groceries.
At about four o'clock the side walls of
the latter building tell across the alley,
crushing a building owned by w. C..
Ridgeway, the lower floor occupied by
Wray Bros, and the upper floor as a
clearinghouse. Mrs. Ridgeway, who
had returned to her house, was caught
in the ruins and seriously injured. The
balance of this building was torn down
to stop the progress of the fire. The
building in which the fire originated
was in course of erection. The fire is
supposed to have been of incendiary or
